Lawmakers and public administrations The Lufthansa Group has maintained an intensive and uninterrupted exchange with representatives from politics and public administrations for many years. In addition, the “Lufthansa Policy Brief” regularly pro- vides information for decision-makers in politics, business and the media about current developments in the aviation indus- try and the Company’s concerns and posi- tions. Since 2014, Swiss has familiarized these target audiences with aviation-related topics by means of its quarterly publication “Aeropolitics”. Austrian Airlines likewise informs policy-makers in detail about its activities and participates actively in the “Vienna Airport Dialogue Forum”, of which it is a founding member. Furthermore, the Lufthansa Group places great emphasis on open and permanent exchange with the municipalities and neighbors at all its Company locations. A symbol for this local dialogue at the Frankfurt location is the “Environment and Neighborhood House” in Kelsterbach. In Frankfurt, the Group has also been actively involved in the “Forum Airport and Region” since 2008 (see page 54, Active noise protection).
